Chapter Ninety-Two: The Tavern
In the silent Jade Valley, a few jet-black clouds were added to the blue sky, the north wind howled fiercely, and the snow flew wantonly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the entrance of a bottomless black cave, the black pool water has long been covered with snow, and the corpses on the ground are also buried deep in it, and the five places where they are clearly piled up.
At this time, on the snow, a yellow-skinned roe deer quickly flashed on the snow, followed by a black arrow feather, which broke through the air, crossed a perfect arc in the heavy snow, and shot straight into the body of the roe deer, and the blood of the roe deer flowing out of the rolling hot air, soaked into the snow, and melted partially.
In the distance, an old man dressed in a slightly shabby ordinary winter jacket walked from a distance with a longbow in his hand.
Seeing the dying roe deer on the ground, a long-lost smile appeared on the old man's face, and all of a sudden, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled.
"Ting'er's child has been miserable lately! This time I finally have something to supplement her nutrition!"
As he spoke, the old man stepped forward happily, pulled out a sharp dagger from his boots, and prepared to do some simple processing of the roe deer, and then take it home to make a sumptuous meal.
At this moment, a snowdrift not far away moved gently, and the old man thought it was another roe deer, so he crawled forward, cautiously forward, and pounced forward when he suddenly approached the ground, but this pounce, he felt that something was wrong, this is not like a roe deer, where is the roe deer so big!
Subconsciously, he hurriedly got up and took a few steps back, the dagger in his hand was a little trembling, but he was still a little curious about the big guy on the ground, if the one on the ground could also be eaten, then the problem he was suffering from now could be solved.
The old man walked forward slowly, looking at the six roads and listening to all directions, and the atmosphere became strange and scary.
Suddenly, he saw that in the snowdrift, there seemed to be a faint human hand, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurried forward, brushed away the heavy snow, and the old man found that lying in the snow was a handsome young man, his eyebrows were clear, and his thin lips looked unusually well-proportioned on his delicate features.
The old man stretched out two fingers and placed them under Wangu's nose, feeling that after receiving a faint snort, the hanging heart had to be put down. He looked around, and it was deserted.
It was a cold winter, and the snow came so suddenly that many animals were forced to spend the winter without the slightest preparation, and by now they were already hungry, and if they were to be left here, if they were seen by the hungry wolves, they would be taken away.
Thinking of this, the old man's benevolent heart was touched.
"I don't look like a bad guy when I look at the kid, so let's save him!"
With a determination in his heart, the old man saw the soul slaying spear beside Wan Gu and thought it was a sharp blade, so he picked it up and picked up the roe deer on the ground, while the other hand inserted the dagger into the boot, and picked up the unconscious and seriously injured Wan Gu on the ground with one hand, and left towards the outside of the Jade Valley.
When Wan Gu woke up again, it was already noon that day, he opened his eyes dimly, this time the Divine Soul Secret Technique attack made him suffer a big loss, the moment he woke up, he felt that the vitality in the dantian could not be mobilized, it can be said that now he can use very little vitality!
"Where am I?"
When he came to his senses, he found that he was not in the snow, but in a hut, which was simple but neat.
"Kid, you're awake!"
At this time, the old man came in with a bowl of steaming soup, lifted the curtain, and happened to see Wangu wake up from the bed and sit up, and said.
"Old man, where is this?"
Wan Gu saw that the person who came was an old man with gray hair, the years had left traces on his face, the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, he looked like he had gone through vicissitudes, and the clothes on his body were patched a lot, and it seemed that life was not very good.
"Child, how could you faint there in this snow-covered weather? If I hadn't happened to be passing by in the wilderness, you would have frozen to death in this mountain! Come, don't talk yet, drink this soup while it's hot, and warm your body!"
Wan Gu looked at the steaming soup in the old man's hand, and was stunned at first, but he knew from the old man's kind eyes that the old man had no killing intent towards him, and if he wanted to kill himself, he could do it when he was unconscious, and he didn't have to wait until he was poisoned. With a warm heart, he took the missing bowl with both hands and drank it.
If it is consumed greatly, the energy in Wangu's body has already been squandered, and at this moment, the roe deer soup enters the mouth, and the hot soup pours down the throat into the stomach, and a warm current wanders in the body, comfortable and comfortable.
Maybe he hadn't eaten for a long time, the soup in Wan Gu's hand was drunk after a while, and he felt that this bowl of roe deer soup was the best food he had ever eaten!
"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, it's not enough!"
The old man looked at the way he drank the soup, and a figure appeared in his mind, and his eyes showed even more love.
"Grandpa, it's such a cold day, why haven't you closed the store yet!"
At this time, a little girl of eleven or twelve years old came out of the back room, her clothes were also patched, she was dressed very plain and simple, with a ponytail, very cute, probably because of the cold weather, her red face was frozen like a red apple.
"It'll be closed in a while, you go and tidy up some dishes and chopsticks, grandpa has prepared something delicious for you today, and we're ready to eat!"
The old man looked at the little girl behind him, his eyes full of love.
"Hehe, I know that grandpa has a harvest today, and I can smell the fragrance of meat from afar!"
The little girl's big eyes are bright, and the little tiger teeth that come out of her are even more delicate and delicate. As she spoke, she bounced and ran towards the kitchen.
"Child, let me make you smile, this is my granddaughter, let's go, let's eat." ā
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Wan Gu was helped out of bed by the old man, through the door curtain, and into the lobby.
In the chat, Wan Gu learned that the old man opened a tavern, but at this moment, in addition to having a few jars of old wine, I am afraid that this tavern really has nothing to take, no wonder the old man and the child's clothes are patched, although they can't make ends meet, but the wine sold must not be sold with water without conscience!
The three of them gathered around a table of eight immortals, with a lit heating stove on one side, and the old man gave the two best legs of the roe deer in the soup to Wan Gu and the girl respectively, while he picked up a steamed bun and ate it with some soup.
Wan Gu looked at it and couldn't bear to move the chopsticks, he gave a roe deer leg to the old man, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you should eat this, you must be very hard to carry me back!"
The old man looked at Wan Gu, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but then it dissipated, he looked at Wan Gu, and said with excuses: "Today I am handy, grandpa is old, and you are still a child, now you are growing your body, eat more!" said the old man and returned the roe deer leg to Wan Gu.
Wan Gu wanted to refuse again, but his stomach rang appropriately, the old man looked at Wan Gu and smiled, this time, Wan Gu just didn't want to eat and couldn't stop eating!
In this way, a warm meal was carried out in a harmonious atmosphere, and this feeling was the first time that Wan Gu felt it after leaving home, so his heart was inexplicably moved.
